Perched on a high plateau, Sorrento is the Italy of our imagination. It's easy to see why Sorrento, with its luxuriant vegetation and sun-drenched climate, became a favorite resort of wealthy Romans. A cliff-top setting, an imposing cathedral in the main piazza, a Franciscan church with a distinctive 13th-century cloister, and a charming, flower-filled town draws thousands of modern-day visitors as well.

  One often returns to a particular place for so many reasons, often difficult to describe. The dynamics of the school- teaching, staff, students from all over the world, places to visit- are so difficult to describe in such a way to fully appreciate them. One comes to learn Italian, but leaves with so much more- a brand new perspective about people from other parts of the world, more understanding of other cultures and beliefs, and most of all with a new perspective of oneself in relation to the other.

Sorrento stands on a dramatic line of 150-foot cliffs, looking north across the Bay of Naples. It was originally a Greek village whose name was derived from the mythical song of the mermaids. The very position of the town, built on a high plateau protected by the sea, is typically Greek. According to early Greek legend, it was at Sorrento that Ulysses heard the tempting song of the Sirens, the nymphs who labored long hours to seduce and shipwreck passing sailors.
